  46. There isn't a pink gem this time around Philomena.

    ReplyDelete
  47. @tanz16, thanks. I think I know what it is going to happen...

    I just noticed, could the color order be the word on window (growpy) and not the alphabetical order?! I mean alphabet worked, but it seems this should be the right order...

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yea..silver key after red key is used....forget directions, because I went through some familiar rooms to get there....still need to find 15 orbs!

    ReplyDelete
  49. There is some kind of big crate or chest behind the door opened by the gold key (is in an attic ?), but there is no hotspot on this crate/chest. And BTW, I'm missing some gems, as usual (I have orange, yellow, red and white gems).

    ReplyDelete
  50. 5 gems and going nowhere, someone know where the symbol clue is?

    ReplyDelete
  51. nope, growpy is used for something else. besides, there is seven gems and only 6 letters.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Philomena...I'm pretty sure the pink gem was the colored lever box! after using first key from map?

    ReplyDelete
  53. mugglehead, symbols are used in the alphabetical order of their colours.

    ReplyDelete
  54. nope, @nokra, that was purple

    ReplyDelete
  55. was the purple gem actually pink! haha

    ReplyDelete
  56. Thank you for the tip nokra, on the loose tile, couldn't find that last gem for anything. Good game as always. :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  86. OUT! Thanks guys! That was fun!

    ReplyDelete
  87. Something got lost in transmission - this game is messed up. I tried using a printed out version of the map and that helped some.

    I found a green key but no green door!

    ReplyDelete
  88. map really no real help until you get the crystal ball......just keep moving and looking, 4red3s...

    ReplyDelete
  89. Can anyone give a general direction of where to use red key? Doing circles trying to find the door,lol

    ReplyDelete
  90. Please help-me i'm not found the screwdriver!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  91. For me, the red dot was never in the place I was supposed to be...and sometimes the rooms that should be locked were open...but...made it a bit more of a challenge!!! lolol Loved it!

    ReplyDelete
  92. I remember the sd being in middle of map, 4 spaces up from bottom...but since the rooms aren't numbered and map never showed me where I really was...I could be steering you wrong...
    If you start from all the way left, go right 4 spaces, then up 4 spaces it should be on a ledge somewhere!

    ReplyDelete
  93. This comment has been removed by the author.

    ReplyDelete
  94. SD was on the ledge above the X clue. Same room as the Green gem.

    ReplyDelete
  95. How about red door? Anyone?

    ReplyDelete
  96. I have the crystal ball .... I also have a green key! There is NO green door.

    I have 6 gems: orange, yellow, red, purple, white, and green.

    I assume the wooden rectangle that does not open in the gold door room is where the gems go.

    What does the rainy window mean?

    ReplyDelete
  97. @whoohoo01,

    Thank you !

    I suppose that I miss a green gem and a purple (or pink) gem.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Hello Nokra,

    thank you for explaining where the green gem was !

    ReplyDelete
  99. all the way to the left has the jammed door of what looks like lockers. I think the orange gem was there. That is as far left as you can go. I can go down which puts me in the shop.

    ReplyDelete
  100. the green door is in for the fourth room from the starting point.

    4reds3s, you are missing the blue gem which is in the symbols box.

    ReplyDelete
  101. sorry fourth room to the right.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Some people say that there are 6 gems, other people say that there are 7 of them...

    I have six (red, green, orange, white, yellow, blue) : am I missing something ? The big crate in the attic can't be clicked yet.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Thanks Nokra the screwdriver is on the window up the x color hint.
    If you start from all the way left, go right 1 space, go up 2 spaces and go left on space and you see the x color hint, see the window up the hint and we are founded the screwdriver.

    ReplyDelete
  104. fixed, the map. So sorry! I need to use it so I know it works!!! Thank you everyone!!!

    ReplyDelete
  105. pdgph, there are 7 gems, 6 symbols. you are missing the purple gem. You can find that in the bottom right room in the coloured slider puzzle.

    ReplyDelete
  106. 4th room from the right is the room where the bolt that used the handle is.

    4th room from the starting point is where the colored lever puzzle was.

    4th room to the right (starting from left) is the starting point.

    I am lost and frustrated and running out of time.

    I think I have to give this one a pass.

    ReplyDelete
  107. 4red3s, if you are in the room with the coloured lever puzzle then you have made it through the green door. you are missing the blue gem which is in the symbols puzzle which from the coloured level puzzle is one room left, 3 rooms up and 1 room left.

    ReplyDelete
  108. There is NO GREEN DOOR. I have the crystal ball and can get into every single room on the crazy map. I have even "walked" through every room with out using the map or crystal ball. Still NO GREEN DOOR.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Quote: 4red3s, if you are in the room with the coloured lever puzzle then you have made it through the green door.

    But ... but ... I still have the green key?!?!

    Thanks for the location on the symbols puzzle.

    :-) Question for Self Defient: Do I get extra credit for the green key?? :-D

    ReplyDelete
  111. @4red... so sorry... when you are in the start screen.. the green door is all the way RIGHT- but if you go up 1 and over again to the right- it leads you the same way if you unlocked the green door

    ReplyDelete
  112. Then you have a glitch in your game. I got into the Green Door room through a glitch in the map from the room one left and one up from that room, maybe you did the same thing and that is why you got into that room. But it was a green door at one point.

    ReplyDelete
  113. i think the silver door is after you unlocked the purple door-- keep going up

    ReplyDelete
  114. Made it out -- with the green key. I thought we would get out through the "door locked by some strange force." But I just took the loot and it was over.

    Well that was interesting! Even with crazy maps and keys -- Self Defiant -- you are the best!

    Wish I had time to play it again.

    ReplyDelete
  115. niknik, blue gem location is discussed in length above.

    ReplyDelete
  116. I am out, but I will stick around to help out if I can!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  119. nice game but map is soo confusing ....im out without any help but it too almost 1 hr...

    ReplyDelete
  120. niknik

    tanz16 9/5/12 11:48 AM 4red3s, if you are in the room with the coloured lever puzzle then you have made it through the green door. you are missing the blue gem which is in the symbols puzzle which from the coloured level puzzle is one room left, 3 rooms up and 1 room left.

    As we also said above the coloured level puzzle is in the bottom right corner.

    ReplyDelete
  121. c@ke - the gold key is in the cupboard in the top left room.

    ReplyDelete
  122. niknik, the blue jem is located in the box where you have to enter the symbols in the correct order. If you are at the starting screen, go 3 screens left, 3 screens up, and one left. You need the red key to get through

    ReplyDelete
  125. @tanz16,

    Thank you for your answer, but I don't see any coloured slider puzzle.

    And I reloaded the game several times, the map is still buggy...

    ReplyDelete
  126. POP, I found the coloured levers puzzle !

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  129. mugglehead, I wish you would say where you found the orb jar. I have to quit, been at it over an hour and can't find the f****** orb jar. grrrrrrr :(

    ReplyDelete
  130. I made it out even without a working map :) No prob, cool game anyway !

    ReplyDelete
  131. Yorkie : Nokra posted where it is just at the beginning : From starting screen....
    Orb jar...r,r,r,u,l!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  132. @selfdefiant:
    Bugs found so far:
    - You can get from room Row 3, col 7 to Row 3, col 8
    - It took 25 orbs to buy the map, not 15 (but crystal only cost me 50)
    - clock says Iily ben playing 3 minutes, but I''m not that fast!

    ReplyDelete
  133. Can anyone tell me how to open the cupboard in top left room. How to pry it open.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Didn't proof that "lily ben" should be "I've been"

    ReplyDelete
  135. use either the crowbar from 2 rooms above the shop or the screwdriver from the room above that one.

    ReplyDelete
  136. orb jar = one room left from the green eye symbol which is one room above the shoe in the corridor

    ReplyDelete
  137. always love these SD games!

    ReplyDelete

  139. Where Things Are

    To get map, you have to accumulate orbs.
    Orb jar: From start go right 3x, up, left (Thanks @nokra)
    Orb store: from start, go left 3x, then down
    (Price was posted as 15 orbs for map, but I needed 25)

    Number rows 1-7 bottom to top (like floors in a building)
    Number columns 1-9 left to right
    I also give the room letters the way SD normally labels the map

    There are 5 orbs in every room except the orb store (150 total to get 100%)
    "*"ed items require require 1 or more steps to get
    Map has purple key

    Row/Col (orbs)
    1/1 A Orb Shop
    2/1 B *orange gem in jammed locker
    2/2 C Black symbol
    2/3 D
    2/4 E Start, screwed grate for green key
    2/5 F Bolt on Piller, *red key
    2/6 G 3x3 box (WRB), *yellow gem, Blue symbol
    2/7 H
    2/8 I color levers, *purple gem
    3/1 J pink symbol, crowbar
    3/2 K Use purple key
    3/3 L crank, purple symbol
    3/4 M
    3/6 N orb jar
    3/7 O green symbol
    3/8 P hammer, GROWPY clue
    3/9 Q dark, *blue key
    4/1 R SD, Red/Black clue, loose tile, *green gem
    4/2 S
    4/4 T
    4/7 U
    5/2 V yellow symbol
    5/4 W
    5/6 X symbols safe, *blue gem
    5/7 Y
    6/2 Z dark, *red gem
    6/3 AA board nailed down, *white gem
    6/4 AB brown chest, place for gems when you have all 7
    6/7 AC *silver key (use lantern)
    7/2 AD stuck doors, *gold key
    7/4 AE (rain)

    Additional hints:
    if you have trouble finding orbs, try using the lantern, even in lighted rooms.
    Most puzzles are pretty logical, and you don't have many tools.
    For levers, alphabetize the colors of the symbols.
    Clue for colored levers is the GROWPY graffiti

    Crystal is not necessary, but doesn't hurt your score. Once you have it, it's hard to draw on the map.

  141. hmmm, I am so battling with this game! I cannot purchase the map, because I am 1 orb short. There is definitely only 4 orbs in the room with the crank in my game. :(

    ReplyDelete
  142. nvd....FINALLY found it!

    ReplyDelete
  143. I have yet to find the spot to put the gems. ??

    ReplyDelete
  144. Never believed in the POP concept, but just found the gem box. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  145. TY slartismum, I totally missed that room.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Well this was a boring game. SD-games used to be my favourites, but I actually fell asleep in the middle of playing this one. And what's the point of not numbering the rooms on the map? It doesn't make the game more fun or more difficult to play. It's just annoying.

    ReplyDelete
  147. @Rachel, when I first played the game I only found 134 orbs. While replaying to write the WT, I started finding orbs I had missed and eventually realized the pattern.

    ReplyDelete
  148. yay, I love the abandoned building games

  150. Nice game, the only thing I didn't like was the order of the symbols as colors alphabetically, because I had to think the color names in english, and as a no native english speaker that was a twist too much for me, especially because there was, as far as I can see, no hint for it.

    ReplyDelete
  151. All I need now is the orange gem, but I can't open the stuck box with either the crowbar or the screwdriver. I even tried lighting it with the lantern first! What am I doing wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  152. Too late to get help (!) have to abandon game (sob).

    ReplyDelete
  153. Strange....I can enter the room without the green key...
    it is fun as always....

    ReplyDelete
  154. is it black and yellow had the same symbol ??

    ReplyDelete
  155. O que significa a janela com chuva quando se chega no sotão
